The Princess was born in Bulawayo, Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe), the daughter of Michael and Lynette Wittstock, and the family relocated to South Africa in 1989. Charlene represented South Africa at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, with her team finishing fifth in the 4 × 100 metre medley relay. Charlene retired from competitive swimming in 2007.

Charlene met Prince Albert at the Mare Nostrum swimming competition in Monte Carlo, Monaco, in 2000. They were first seen together in 2006, and Princess Charlene has accompanied Prince Albert on many of his official duties since then. They announced their engagement in June 2010, and were married on 1 July 2011. The Princess's pregnancy was announced on 30 May 2014. On 10 December 2014, she gave birth to fraternal twins Princess Gabriella and Hereditary Prince Jacques. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlene,_Princess_of_Monaco

Previous work has shown that wing wear increases mortality in bumblebees. Although a proximate mechanism for this phenomenon has remained elusive, a leading hypothesis is that wing wear increases predation risk by reducing flight manoeuvrability. We tested the effects of simulated wing wear on flight manoeuvrability in Bombus impatiens bumblebees using a dynamic obstacle course designed to push bees towards their performance limits. ... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4938054/

Combining robotic modelling with slow-motion videos of airborne honeybees may have helped researchers explain the curious aerodynamics of bee flight.

Aeronautical engineers had previously “proven” that bees cannot fly. So Michael Dickinson, an insect flight expert and colleagues at Caltech in Pasadena, California, US, decided to investigate the forces actually at work during honeybee flight.

In 1996, Charlie Ellington at Cambridge University, UK, showed how vortices rolling along the leading edge of many insects’ wings were a vital source of lift.

Most flying insects beat their wings in large strokes – typically flapping in arcs of 145° to 165° at a frequency determined by body size – to generate aerodynamic forces sufficient for flight. But this cannot explain how a heavy insect with a short wing beat, such as a bee, generates enough lift to fly ... https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn8382-secrets-of-bee-flight-revealed/

Buckminster Fuller is remembered as the inventor of the geodesic dome, but he also invented a unique automobile, called the Dymaxion Car. The Dymaxion was a three wheeler, with the rear wheel doing the steering. Because of the rear wheel steering, it could do a U turn in its own length. Unfortunately, its length was 20 feet. It was a real torpedo of a car, seating 11 people, and capable of doing 120 miles per hour on the freeway. It weighed less than 1000 pounds, and got 30-50 mpg. Invented in 1933, it was completely revolutionary. I have a personal connection with the Dymaxion car, as Fuller lived in Wichita Kansas when he built it, where my uncle lived. Fuller started parking it in my uncle's unused garage, until my uncle asked for a parking fee. After that, he parked it somewhere else. ...patentpending.blogs.com/vehicle_patentstechnology

Gillette Elvgren (March 15, 1914 – February 29, 1980) was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Best known for his pin-up paintings for Brown & Bigelow, Elvgren studied at the American Academy of Art. He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle. ...
